Sadbh slept fairly well, although, according to Larissa, she had a bit of a rough patch from 1:30-2:30am. Larissa said that every now and then Sadbh’s face would squish up as if in pain. Maybe gas or maybe teeth? Larissa was able to sooth Sadbh back to sleep and she slept on until 6am.
Mommy took over at that point, gave Sadbh her early am breakfast and changed her nappy. Sadbh then she closed her eyes and went back to sleep until almost 9am.
When Sadbh woke up, Mommy, Grandad and Su Jin were all in her room in no time. At first Sadbh seemed a bit overwhelmed, but then she realized that it was playtime and she burst into a smile.
Little did she know that two new friends (Molly and Kara) were soon to arrive. Molly and Kara are two new nurses who will be looking after Sadbh and that Su Jin introduced to us. For the next several hours, Sadbh enjoyed playing with Su Jin, Molly and Kara.
After that, it was time for trach care with Grandad and Su Jin. Everything went smooth and Sadbh had a nice little nap afterwards.
Since it was such a beautiful day, once Sadbh woke up, Grandad and Su Jin decided to bundle her up and go for a nice long walk. Sadbh looked like a little bear exploring the park. Every time her eye caught an airplane overhead, Sadbh’s whole attention went to the plane and she watched it until it was not in site any more.
Could Daddy be getting ready to get on one of those planes and come home?
When they got home from their walk, it was time to Skype with Daddy and then time for a late nap.
Shortly after Sadbh woke up from her nap, Mommy was home and it was time for supper. Grandad fed her corn & butternut squash.
Sadbh is so excited every time she sees her Grandad. He seems to know exactly what she wants and they communicate to each other in a special silent language. We are so lucky and thankful to have Grandad Gerry here with us. We’ve started calling him “Super Grandad” and Sadbh is waiting for him to put on his cape.
Sadbh wore the Passy Muir Valve (PMV) for over 30 min after supper and there were some small squeaky noises that could be heard. We are not sure if these noises were coming from her trach or her mouth, but Sadbh is definitely getting more comfortable with the PMV and is able to tolerate it for longer and longer periods of time.
Then it was time for bed and although she was still very happy and content, she was also very tired. Mommy bundled Sadbh up and even before her head was in the bed, she was fast asleep. Another great day for Sadbh!
All the best,
Wayne, Katie and Sadbh.
